Heaters mounted so high that they cannot be reached for periodic service. (Approximately 8 - 10 feet to the bottom of the heater, would seem to be an acceptable height.) Some people think they should be mounted 18 - 20 feet high; this is ridiculous. Be sure you don't mount your heater near where semis / other large vehicles pull through the shop. (Inexperienced drivers have backed into heaters, and knocked them completely off the ceiling, burning all the way. This is not pretty. Mount your heater somewhere out of the way.)
Heaters mounted closer than 3 feet to walls, corners, and ceilings. You will need this room for periodic cleanings.
